if I get a kybella treatment will I notice any results right away, and also how long would the recovery period and downtime be?

 As with most relatively noninvasive means of removing stubborn pockets of fat, time is needed before you will see the full results of your Kybella treatment. This is because these modalities physically destroy the fat cells, which then must be broken down by the body and eliminated through the lymphatic system, where they are ultimately excreted by the liver. Generally, this can take anywhere from 2 to 3 months to fully accomplish.
Kybella is a very quick and easy way to remove a double chin. It takes about 5 minutes in the office. You will probably need at least two to three sessions, spaced at least six weeks apart. There usually is no downtime with Kybella. You may experience some bruising or soreness, but this generally resolves within a few days. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist will determine if you are a good candidate for Kybella.

Hello, You will not see results from kybella right away. In fact you may think the double chin appears larger. This is due to immediate swelling. This swelling can hang around for 4-6 weeks. The next treatment should be scheduled around this time to see what the results are like from the first treatment. Thanks.

Thank you for your question. No, you will not see the result right away. Swelling will be present for about 2 weeks. I would say you can see your final result in about 6 weeks. Best of luck!Dhaval M. Patel Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Hoffman Estates Barrington Oakbrook Chicago
